A Summer Surge Brings Fresh Confidence for Sellers

Rising sales activity signals renewed confidence among motivated sellers and buyers

There are encouraging signs for homeowners considering a move, with new figures revealing a significant increase in agreed property sales over the summer.

Some agents have recorded 32% more agreed sales in August than during the same month last year, following a 12% year-on-year increase in July. The figures suggest that motivated buyers and sellers are increasingly choosing to move forward rather than wait for greater economic certainty.

For sellers, this renewed activity is particularly welcome. It demonstrates that there are buyers actively looking to secure their next home, while healthy levels of new instructions indicate that properties continue to come onto the market.

With September and October traditionally among the busiest months for the agency, there could be further opportunities for sellers in the weeks ahead.

For homeowners thinking about making their next move, these figures offer a reassuring reminder that the market remains active.

Stack Up Some Autumn Style

Create a smart log storage area now and keep your firewood dry, tidy and ready for cosy evenings

As autumn approaches, there is something wonderfully inviting about having a good supply of logs ready for the cooler evenings. Creating a dedicated log storage area is a practical outdoor improvement that can also add character to your garden.

Choose a sheltered spot that is convenient for bringing logs indoors, ideally with plenty of airflow to help keep them dry. A simple timber log store can provide an attractive solution, while a purpose built shelter can offer additional protection from rain and wind.

Think about how your storage area fits into the wider garden. Natural timber can complement planting beautifully, while climbing plants or discreet screening can help it blend into the surroundings.

Keeping logs neatly stacked also prevents them from becoming an eyesore and makes them much easier to access when needed.

By creating a dedicated log storage area this September, you can combine practicality with style and make sure your home is ready for plenty of warm, relaxing autumn evenings.

Creating More Opportunities for Today’s Tenants

Bills included can help landlords create convenient, appealing rental opportunities for tenants

As competition for tenants continues, landlords are finding new ways to make their properties stand out, with an increasing number now offering bills included as part of the rental package.

According to recent figures, 14.9% of rental properties listed across Britain are advertised with bills included, demonstrating the growing appeal of this approach. In some areas, the proportion is considerably higher, highlighting how landlords are adapting to changing tenant preferences.

For landlords, including bills within the rent can provide a valuable marketing advantage. It offers prospective tenants greater simplicity and makes monthly household costs easier to understand, which can be particularly appealing to students, sharers and those looking for a convenient rental experience.

While landlords will naturally need to consider the costs carefully, a well-structured package can help a property attract attention in a competitive market.

For landlords looking to maximise their property's appeal, understanding what today's tenants value could prove a worthwhile investment.

A Welcome Rate Hold for Sellers

Base Rate stability offers sellers and buyers welcome confidence as autumn approaches

There is encouraging news for homeowners considering a move, with the Bank of England choosing to hold the Base Rate at 3.75%. While the decision may not transform the property market overnight, it provides welcome stability for buyers and sellers alike.

For sellers, a steady Base Rate means there is no immediate additional increase in borrowing costs for mortgage customers, helping to maintain confidence among those considering their next home. With buyers able to plan their finances with greater certainty, this could support continued activity across the property market.

The rate decision also offers a positive backdrop for homeowners thinking about putting their property on the market. Rather than facing another rise in borrowing costs, buyers have been given a little more breathing space, potentially helping more prospective purchasers feel comfortable taking their next step.

For anyone considering a move, it could be a reassuring time to start a conversation about what your property could achieve.
